Poly-MVA FAQs
What is Poly-MVA?
Poly-MVA is a powerful, patented dietary supplement that is the first in a remarkable new category of supplements known as Lipoic Acid Palladium Complexes. Poly-MVA is a unique, patented proprietary blend of palladium, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamins B1, B2 and B12, the amino acids formyl-methionine and acetyl cystiene, and trace amounts of molybdenum, rhodium, and ruthenium.
What is Lipoic Acid Palladium Complex and what makes it special?
Lipoic Acid Palladium Complex is an extraordinary compound that chemically bonds palladium (a trace mineral) to alpha lipoic acid (a powerful antioxidant) and B1. The technique of bonding these two materials together is so unique that the U.S. government has issued a patent on the process. The binding of palladium with alpha lipoic acid dramatically increases nutrient absorption at the cellular level and throughout the body. This is an exclusive breakthrough that distinguishes Poly-MVA from any other supplement.
How does palladium work within the body?
Within Poly-MVA, the proprietary palladium lipoic acid acts in a similar way to the cobalt found in Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). The palladium is sequestered or bonded in the palladium lipoic acid molecule found in Poly-MVA. Palladium serves primarily as a transport mechanism to dramatically enhance the uptake of lipoic acid, while also being theorized to have an effect on the electrical potential of the cell. While the lipoic acid palladium complex contained in Poly-MVA provides a significant portion of the unique action of the supplement, other important vitamins, minerals and amino acids enhance the function of the palladium lipoic complex, while also contributing to the support of the body's natural processes.
Why do people take Poly-MVA?
People take Poly-MVA for optimum health and maximum nutritional support. It is designed to increase energy, reduce fatigue, help to enhance overall health and well-being, and provide nutritional support for those who may have nutrients depleted during chemotherapy or radiation treatments. Many people have found Poly-MVA to be a tonic and helpful in improving quality of life for those undergoing a difficult treatment regimen as it……..
- Provides superior antioxidant and free radical protection
- Offers fast acting, immediate absorption for quick results
- Supports energy production at the cellular level
- Enhances and supports quality of life
- Promotes overall health
The late oncologist, Rudy Falk, MD, said, "Poly-MVA has properties that make it beneficial in supporting and optimizing cellular functions, protecting DNA, and showing promise in helping to re-energize cells by the transfer of energy, especially those under stress.”
Can people use Poly-MVA while they are undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments?
According to FDA regulations, supplements cannot be sold or intended for use in the treatment of any disease. Poly-MVA is a nutritional supplement designed to support essential body functions and we recommend the use of Poly-MVA based on our own experience and results. Poly-MVA is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Many people may take Poly-MVA as a nutritional supplement while undergoing medical treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation because it helps to support and strengthen normal cellular function. Since chemotherapy and radiation treatments often place the body under stress and have unpleasant side effects, nutritional supplements such as Poly-MVA may help to replenish nutrients that may be depleted, and restore energy and function to all cells and tissues. Those undergoing these therapies use Poly-MVA for nutritional support. Many who are not experiencing a significant health challenge take it because of the basic nutritional support it provides as part of their regular daily supplementation.
What dosage of Poly-MVA do I need to take?
We have developed an integrated regimen that includes Poly-MVA, along with other nutritional supplements and dietary changes. If you're interested in an integrated nutritional regimen, or if you're seeking treatment for an illness, please provide us with the details so that we may design a specific individualized program.
Can people take Poly-MVA for daily support or any other reasons?
Yes. Poly-MVA is an ideal and superior oral antioxidant. It was intended to help support many of the body’s systems, strengthen immune responses, enhance energy production, and improve quality of life by providing high quality essential nutrients in a unique form that can be easily assimilated by the body.
How long does a bottle last? How much do people normally take?
How long a bottle lasts depends on how much you take and what size bottle you purchase. Depending on individual use, an 8 oz. bottle of Poly-MVA could last as long as 192 days (over six months). If you are using Poly-MVA to help maintain optimum health and function, a bottle can last a few months. However, for those who are using it to increase energy or for nutritional support during chemotherapy and radiation therapies, a bottle may last just 6 days.

How long does it take to get results?
Dr. Merrill Garnett, whose research led to the discovery of Poly-MVA, believes that most individuals will notice a difference in how they feel within the first 2-4 weeks. In some cases, depending upon use, we have seen dramatic results (energy improvement and increased appetite) in just a matter of days.
Is Poly-MVA safe?
All of the ingredients are natural, safe and bound. Poly-MVA is assimilated in the body as a food. During the development of Lipoic Acid Palladium Complexes, high doses were given to animals in an attempt to determine if there was a toxicity level, but even at the highest administered dose (fifty times higher than the maximum recommended dose), no negative effects were observed in any of the test animals. Based on this data, the natural ingredients in the product, as well as the safe use in humans and animals for over twelve years, Poly-MVA appears to be extraordinarily safe. Additionally, to our knowledge, Poly-MVA does not appear to interfere with the actions or effects of any other medications or treatments. It should still be noted that every individual is different and a few may react differently. If this occurs while using it, please discontinue use and contact your practitioner.
Are there any other effects?
Poly-MVA does not have any known side effects. However, as is the case with any dietary supplement, we recommend that if you have any medical condition and are under the advice and care of another physician that you let us know prior to using Poly-MVA. Certain medical conditions may be susceptible to a rapid change in symptoms when using some classes of dietary supplements, including Lipoic Acid Palladium Complexes. Being monitored by a physician is always advisable to ensure optimum health and well-being.
Is there anything that may inhibit or minimize the effectiveness while on Poly-MVA?
Chelating agents, Vitamin C over 1000mg, and other antioxidants at high levels well above their recommended daily allowance should be minimized if possible (we recommend waiting at least six hours before taking Poly-MVA). Poly-MVA not only quenches the free radicals, but utilizes them in the cells’ energy cycle. Free alpha lipoic acid should be minimized because it may compete with the palladium lipoic acid in the Poly-MVA and is not necessary while using Poly-MVA. Tobacco products, alcohol and excessive caffeine intake can also slow down the uptake of Poly-MVA, in addition to working against the goal of optimum health. Graviola, Zeolites, hydrazine sulfate and Pau D’Arco may interfere with the absorption of Poly-MVA, so we recommend alternating these products on different days.
Why does it seem that this product is more costly compared to other supplements?
Although Poly-MVA is competitive with other dietary supplements in size and benefit, its unique ingredients are a combination of palladium and other precious minerals, which are some of the most expensive metals in the world (palladium is typically more expensive than platinum). Therefore, the raw materials cost is much higher than a typical supplement. In terms of the cost of the raw materials and manufacturing process vs. the selling price, Poly-MVA is similar in manufacturing margin to many other nutritional supplements.
How long has Poly-MVA been in use?
Poly-MVA has been available in the U.S. since 1992. The first several years were spent presenting the scientific data to physicians. We are one of the many physicians around the world using Poly-MVA in their practices as part of an overall treatment program for general health and well-being.
